Traction twist is an essential yoga pose for low back pain relief.
Many people suffer from lock back pain for a variety of reasons:
- Your sacroiliac joint may be locked on one or both sides, aka sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Your lumbar curve may be less than 30 degrees, leading to compression of your lower spine, pinching the nerves
- You may be sitting, standing or sleeping with improper posture
- Disc herniations
- Scoliosis
- Spondylolisthesis, which happens when one or more vertebrae slips over the next one, often pushing onto the spinal cord
- Spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal
- Pulled muscles or ligaments
- Degenerating discs
- Accidents
- Osteoarthritis
- Facet joint dysfunction
The pain from many of these uncomfortable conditions may be alleviated by practicing traction twist as part of a carefully designed therapeutic yoga program.
